List Of Billboard Latin Pop Albums Number Ones From The 1980s
In June 1985, ''Billboard'' magazine established Latin Pop Albums, a chart that ranks the best-selling Latin pop albums in the United States. The chart was published on a fortnightly basis with its positions being compiled by sales data from Latin music retailers and distributors. According to ''Billboard'', Latin pop includes "the music known as the '' balada romántica'' or ''música interacional''" as well as "young pop sounds" and "the new Spanish-language rock". Latin pop emerged as the most commercially successful genre of Latin music throughout the 1980s and 1990s in the US, and the popularity of the ''balada'' was propelled by artists such as Julio Iglesias, Camilo Sesto, and Gloria Estefan (lead singer of the Miami Sound Machine at the time). During the 1980s, 22 albums topped the chart. The first album to reach number one on the Latin Pop Album chart was '' Reflexiones'' (1984) by José José. José José was also the artist with the most number-one albums of the 198 ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

List Of Best-selling Latin Albums
Latin music has an ambiguous meaning in the music industry due to differing definitions of the term "Latin". For example, the Latin music market in the United States defines Latin music as any release that is mostly sung in Spanish, regardless of genre or artist nationality, by industry organizations including the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and ''Billboard''. International organizations and trade groups such as the Latin Recording Academy include Portuguese-language music in the Latin category. Music journalists and musicologists define Latin music as musical styles from Spanish-speaking areas of Latin America and from Spain. Music from Brazil is usually included in the genre and music from Portugal is occasionally included. As a result of the conflicting views of defining Latin music, the list includes Latin albums defined either by language for vocal albums or genre for instrumental albums. Therefore, for an album to appear on the list, the figure must ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

El Norte (Monterrey)
El Norte is a daily newspaper printed and distributed in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. History During the decades of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, El Norte gained important successes in exposing corruption in government. Due to its principles of independent journalism, the federal government cut the paper supply required to print the newspaper, so the company had to import it directly. At the end ''El Norte'' won the battle against the then government monopoly import of paper for printing (PIPSA). Grupo Reforma is 85 years old. It began with the founding of the newspaper El Sol in April 1922, followed by El Norte in 1938, the newspaper Metro in Monterrey in 1988 (and renovated in 1993). Four years later, in 1997, the newspaper Palabra was born in Saltillo, and the Metro in Mexico City. Mural, in Guadalajara, was founded a year later. In 2004 and 2005, Metro expanded to Saltillo and Guadalajara. In 2007 and 2008, Metro again expanded to State of Mexico and Puebla. La Reforma, a b ...
